Electric vehicle maker Polestar, owned by Volvo Cars and its parent company Geely, has announced the recall of all new Polestar 2 models sold, Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri (DI) reported on Friday.
The decision to recall was made after reports of some Polestar 2 owners about problems with the car, when it suddenly turns off and it can no longer be started. Therefore, I had to tow the car to the nearest service center.
«A total of 2,189 vehicles on registered customers in China, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom may experience loss of traction while driving, resulting in a sudden stop“Said Brent Ellis, Polestar’s director of public relations.
Tesla faced a similar problem in the Model 3 at the beginning of its release. As it turned out then, the problem arose from an additional 12-volt battery designed to power on-board electrical appliances and auxiliary elements. In the case of the Model 3, replacing this battery was enough to resolve the issue. As for Polestar 2, it is not yet clear if this will help in this case. In addition, not all vehicles have voltage problems. In some cases, a problem warning appears before stopping Polestar 2.
“There were no accidents, no injuries– told the resource DI a representative of Polestar. – Brakes, steering and other systems are working properly. “.
In a letter to customers notifying the recall of the Polestar 2 electric vehicle, the company cites a software bug. A software update, which takes about an hour at the service center, should supposedly fix the problem.
